Number Of Ingredients 19

1 3/4 c cooked & peeled sweet potato - mashed ( about 3 med potatoes )
20 oz crushed pineapple - drained and juice squeezed out
2 c sugar
1 c oil
4 eggs
2 3/4 c flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp candied ginger - minced

GLAZE
1 - 1 1/4 c confectioners' sugar
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/3 c heavy cream
1/2 c butter
3/4 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Spray a 9 - 12 cup Bundt cake pan with non stick cooking spray - I use bakers secret.
  • 2. Pierce potatoes and microwave for roughly 8 minutes, cool, peel and cut into chunks.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together, flour, soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, candied ginger and salt. Set aside.
  • 4. In a medium sized bowl; mix potatoes with well drained pineapple, until potatoes are smooth.
  • 5. Add oil and sugar, mix until well blended. Add eggs 2 at a time, blending well after each addition.
  • 6. Now, add flour mixture and beat until well blended. Stir in vanilla.
  • 7. Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 60 - 65 minutes or until pick inserted comes out clean.
  • 8. Cool cake on rack for 15 minutes, carefully turn cake onto serving platter and finish cooling completely. Make glaze when cake is just luke warm.
  • 9. Glaze: Sift powdered sugar in mixing bowl with chopped pecans. In a medium saucepan; add cream, sugar and butter. Over low heat; melt butter and sugar together, until sugar is melted. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously for 2 minutes. Pour into the confectioners' sugar and pecan mixture. Whisk until smooth...if you want a thicker glaze add more sugar. I let it set up for a few minutes, then pour over cake. Delicious!
